Concerning message #15928:

Dear Dr.Bill,
I took some new pictures of Ercolania sp.5.
This animal was hidden in the seaweeds such as Boodlea coacta though I am not an expert on seaweed identifications. And, I saw a brown mark on the dorsum.

Locality: Eelgrass Beds, Garapan, 1.5 m, Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, Pacific Ocean, 6 February 2007, in the Boodlea coacta (?). Length: 4 mm. Photographer: Yuji Fujie.

Best regards,
Yuji

Thanks Yuji,
These animals are often very well camouflaged on their algal food

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
